A green flame lit in the fireplace, and Tang Sen Shi Ran stepped out.

The Leaky Cauldron was a rare emptiness.

It was crowded with wizards and wizards who were talking about magicians and Muggle technology in the morning, but now there was only a table of guests sitting in the corner.

Townsend noticed that Old Tom, who was sitting behind the bar, was staring angrily and aggrievedly at the Daily Prophet in his hand—a paper that was crumpled and crumpled and unfolded again.

"Oh, Professor Tang." Old Tom greeted him as usual, but he looked a little weak.

"What's going on?" Townsend gestured to the empty tables and chairs.

"A few Aurors have just arrived, and several guests have been captured," Old Tom gritted his teeth, and finally just said, "You must have read today's Daily Prophet, right?" ”

Tang Sen nodded knowingly.

"It looks like the Leaky Cauldron will be a little deserted in the coming days."

"It won't be too long." Old Tom slapped the Daily Prophet on the table and said with some indignation, "I promise it won't be more than three months!" ”

Both of them knew what these three months meant, and Townsend was about to answer, when suddenly two guests sitting in the corner stood up and walked towards Townsend with a clear purpose.

Old Tom frowned and shouted, "Just put the money on the table at the checkout, and I'll come and collect it." ”

But the two of them ignored it, both wearing hooded cloaks, hiding their faces in shadows, and their demeanor exuded an uncomfortable coldness.

This made old Tom a little wary, and he slowly took out his wand.

"You're the Hogwarts professor of divination, Sen Tang?" One of the shorter ones asked, as he approached.

It was a female voice, sharp and a little crazedly hoarse.

Tang Sen's expression didn't change, he just turned around and said, "Who are you?" ”

The man lifted his hood, revealing a mess of shaggy hair and a pale face.

Old Tom was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Bellatrix Lestrange! ”

He quickly raised his wand, but before he could aim at the two of them, a wand had already struck him, causing the wand in Tom Sr.'s hand to take it out of his hand.

The other person also lifted his hood, it was a middle-aged man, the same pale skin, with a cold expression.

"They're Death Eaters!" Old Tom shouted, "Professor Tang, run!" They're coming for you! ”

"I know." Tang Sen didn't move, he still stood in place, looking at the two calmly.

"He knows!" Bella repeated Townsend's words and laughed maniacally, "He said as if he knew we were coming to him."

She raised her wand and aimed it at Townsen.

"I don't believe in ridiculous divination, if you really see the future, you should hide in your bed instead of appearing in front of us."

"Because you will know what kind of torture you will suffer."

"I didn't see that." Tang Sen said lightly: "Actually, what surprised me a little was that Voldemort's guts were too small. I thought he would come in person. ”

"How dare you!"

"How dare you say that, great master!"

Bella suddenly flew into a rage and waved her wand directly.

"Arvada—"

"Bella!" The middle-aged Death Eater hurriedly grabbed Bella's wrist, "The order we received was not to kill him, but to bring him to the master. ”

"The master wouldn't like to see a corpse."

"Let go of me!"

Bella clenched her wand and glared gloomily at the Death Eaters.

"Otherwise, I don't think the master would mind seeing your body."

The Death Eater's pupils constricted, and he had no doubt that the madman had done cannibalism, so he let go of his hand.

But there was no doubt that the Death Eaters' obstruction had calmed Bella a little calmer - instead of waving her wand at Townsend again, she fired a few spells that blew the entire Leaky Cauldron to pieces, and then she came back to her senses and said to Townwend:

"Throw your wand on the ground and come over honestly, I don't want to keep my master waiting."

Tang Sen didn't pay attention to her, just spread his hands and said, "I refuse." ”

"Then I'm afraid you're going to have to suffer a little." Bella laughed maniacally and waved her wand:

"Drill Heart—"

Syllable.

The wand in her hand suddenly fell off her hand and fell to the ground.

The other Death Eater was stunned for a moment, and was about to react to fight back, but the floor suddenly seemed to come to life, turning into a large hand and clutching him tightly.

At this time, a figure slowly emerged from Tang Sen's side.

No one would fail to recognize him, and his trademark long gray-and-white hair and long beard that covered his chest, as well as the distinctive wand in his hand, showed his identity.

The Headmaster of Hogwarts, the strongest White Wizard at the moment, Professor Dumbledore.

Bella's pupils shrank to the size of a pin's eye, and no matter how crazy she was, her first instinct was to pounce on her wand, trying to get out of here through the illusion.

But Dumbledore didn't give her this chance, he gently waved the wand in his hand, and Bella's body suddenly stiffened like a stone, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Professor Tang, the purpose of your invitation to lunch is not simple."

Controlling the two Death Eaters lightly, Dumbledore turned around and showed a helpless expression: "I'm not your bodyguard. ”

"I thought the Headmaster of Hogwarts would be happy to protect his staff." Townsend smiled and said, "Professor Dumbledore, you know, I'm a soothsayer, and I'm not good at fighting. ”

"When I knew that I would be in danger at the Leaky Cauldron at noon today, the only person I could think of who could help me was you, after all, the only person who had malicious intentions towards me at the moment was Voldemort."

He said, "Only you can deal with an enemy of this level, can't you?" ”

"Why don't you go to a magician?" Dumbledore stared at Townsend with deep eyes, "I'm sure you can get in touch with him." ”

"Then I'll be a criminal." Townsend said seriously: "If Professor Dumbledore had read today's newspaper, he should have known that it was a felony to come into contact with magicians. I don't want to lose my position as Professor at Hogwarts, as I'm on the Ministry of Magic's vetting list. ”

Dumbledore smiled helplessly and waved his wand towards the Cauldron Bar.

The debris of the ground began to fly, returning to where they belonged, and the objects damaged by Bella's spell were repaired as if they had gone back in time.

Old Tom poked his head out from behind the bar.

"Scared me to death, I thought that madman Bella would give me a life-threatening spell Professor Tang, next time you divinate the danger, can you tell me in advance - oh, Professor Dumbledore, long time no see."

"I think Professor Dumbledore has what it takes to keep you safe." Townsend comforted, "I don't want to have nowhere to eat afterwards. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Dumbledore again and smiled, "Speaking of which, Professor Dumbledore shouldn't have any taboos, right?" ”

"Chuck - I mean the house-elf of the Leaky Cauldron, his dragon meat stew is getting better and better."

"By the way, there is also a new batch of Thestrals, I have to say, very chewy."

Tang Sen said enthusiastically:

"You've got to taste it!"
